Re: Panicky overtakees

Overtake in half the distance you can see, then lots of space to deal with any shenanigans.

Re: The Limits of Human Endeavour

Hadn't heard of Ross Edgley. Blimey. As well as all the crazy swimming, a marathon round Silverstone pulling a 1400kg mini :shock: He is also crazily positive, the swim around the U.K. really hammered his body but he did it. Wasn’t there a show discussing these ultra athletes and their minds ? Dave!

This puts you constantly side by side with cyclists which have different road layouts.

I’m up that way in the Autumn, I’ll be sure to arrive without warning at the Croft around dinner time then by the sounds of it 😂

Really nice write-up there 👍

One leg swung out, step up, merest touch on the a-pillar for stability while seemlessly putting on shades and slicking my hair back.

Re: Teh Spotted Thread

A light minty green LFA A GTR with what looked like a wide arch kit over another wide arch kit. A Novotel (I think) 599 A 355 Targa A 488 driven by an 18 year old manga looking girl An Aventador driven by a stunning blonde lady and a moody G63 following her, both Matt black. All in Singapore. Dave!

Re: Your fleet running reports

When you reverse in the ML directly central to the lack posts at our local Tescos the reverse lights go yellow, 1 away from red and then disappear. So no audible tone.

I hit the post twice with my towbar to prove a point 😂

Re: Trump

It's odd because Farage is Brexit and the majority of people now favour being in the EU, so where is reforms support coming from? Border force folk at IHG in Ramsgate have made them remove sausages and bacon from breakfast as it offends the criminals. You now have to go to a seperate room. When peo...

Re: Your fleet running reports

If you value your downtime and say you enjoy cars then a road trip is about as good as it gets!

Don’t buy a 3.0 Coupe if you don’t like driving so get driving it!

Re: New Torch Needed

Mik uses the head torch of correctness. All of us service engineers have them as they just work really well and tolerate oil and dirt.

I don’t know if any quality plastic flashlights but I do like Nebo flashlights.
